"Well, it hasn't been amusing, but you all have a place within my organization. Killing humans is our specialty, seek us out if you ever feel like it. Fear Terminus, for even eternity has an end." She says as she smiles and looks at all of us. "Later." She says as she kicks Orion and immediately teleports away. The shockwave from the kick knows all of us back through buildings behind us. I roll over and yell in pain as I see and feel a large pipe stuck through my rips. I quickly rip it out and lay on the ground in agony. "Shit, what was that?" I mumble angrily as I stand up and walk through the several holes that I created by flying through a building. I see several terrified humans staring at me as I stumble by. As I make it back outside, the sound of emergency sirens floods my ears. My eyes widen as I see several buildings are almost completely leveled. The direction that Orion got kicked has a path of ruin and demolished buildings trailing almost a mile away from me. My attention shifts quickly as I see Attira crawling out of some rubble. As I run over, I see her pull out two people who are cut up and bruised very badly. "Are you ok?" I ask as she looks at me, then at the destruction around us. "What the hell was that?" She asks as a rock gets thrown past us and onto the ground behind me. As I look where it came from, I see Moxi carrying Lastis. Moxi has a large steel beam jammed through his left leg and a piece of glass in his stomach. I quickly run over to him as he rips the glass out and breathes in and out deeply. As he rips the beam from his leg, I see Lastis slowly sit up. He slowly looks around, wide-eyed. "What the hell just happened?" He asks as I hear Orion speak up. "She kicked me, and fairly hard at that. If I hadn't jammed my blade into the ground, I'd probably be twenty or so miles the other direction." He says as I turn to look at him. He barely even has a scratch on him, just a scuff mark on his shoulder. "To think, unregistered demons of this level still exist here." Orion says as he grits his teeth and turns around. "I'll be gathering a team to hunt her down. You don't have to worry about fixing this mess, since it was my fault for not being on guard, I'll get this under control. The DAA should already be aware of destruction." Orion says as several beings appear behind him. I recognize Raven, but not the others. "Orion, what just happened? An extremely high energy spike just reverberated all the way to our base." Raven says as Orion explains what happens. I help out a few people I hear trapped under rubble while also looking for Fallyn. "Malick, I found him." I hear Attira say as she pushes a large concrete chunk over. Fallyn is laying on the ground, both his arms and legs crushed. As we wait a few seconds, he starts healing slowly. "He seems to have damaged his energy." A woman says behind us. As we both look back, we see a girl with short black hair staring at Fallyn. "I need to mend that quickly, but I can't do that alone. I'll bring him back to you when he's healed." She says as she quickly touches him. "Wait, what do you." Attira gets cut off as she teleports away with Fallyn. "This is bad, we need to hunt her down and kill her!" I hear Lastis yell as Attira and I quickly run to him. "She would kill you without having to lift a finger, you don't even know if she has any releases!" Raven yells as Lastis grits his teeth and looks around. "But all this, this falls onto us!" He yells as I feel an overwhelming energy rip past us all. Lastis immediately salutes and stands perfectly still. Sheeva, Vale, and Nixon all appear out of thin air in front of us. "Malick, what happened?" Vale asks as Sheeva looks around calmly. The sight of mass destruction and death doesn't even seem to faze her. As I start to speak up, Nixon scrapes his hand against the ground. "I'm more interested in how they're alive." Nixon mumbles as he summons a gun to his hand and aims it at me. As he pulls the trigger, I jump away. A beep rings as Nixon's eyes to widen slightly. He proceeds to point the gun at Moxi and Attira. He quickly hands his gun to Vale and Sheeva then walks over to me, each step off putting a considerable amount of energy. As I raise my fists, he grabs my wrist and lifts me off the ground. "Who was it?" He asks angrily. Before I can answer, Sheeva grabs his forearm. Lastis speaks up, lessening the tension slightly. "It was an unregistered pure-blood demon named Rozaria Tesexia. One kick from her caused all of this damage." Lastis says as Nixon continues to glare at me. "Nixon, drop him." Sheeva says as Nixon looks at her. As he grips my wrist harder, I kick towards his face. As he starts to block, Sheeva slams him to the ground, causing him to let go of me. "Vale, Malick will be needing a guardian. Find one." Sheeva says as she takes her hand off of Nixon and lets him stand up. "What's happening?" Attira asks as Sheeva looks at her. "An energy tracer has been fused to Malick's left arm." Sheeva says as I quickly inspect my arm. "One was also placed on Moxi's hand and your neck, but Malick's is different." Sheeva says while looking to Attira. "What do you mean mines different? And what even is an energy tracer?" I ask as she looks at me. "An energy tracker lets whoever marked you track you anywhere, it almost as a curse that's quite difficult to remove without harming you. The reason yours is troublesome, it because yours is a transportation marker. At any given time, they can appear next to you and kill you and those around you." Sheeva says as I stare at her in shock.
